The Town of Sheridan is excited to share that the first phase of our new playground installation at the Community Center is now complete!

Saturday’s crisp fall weather made for a perfect day to see local children enjoying the new equipment. It was heartwarming to watch families gather and kids explore the updated features.

If you haven’t had a chance to visit yet, we encourage you to stop by and check it out. The Parks Board did a fantastic job selecting fun, modern pieces, including a large play structure with seven slides, swings, a climbing wall, and a spinning toy, all part of this initial phase.

We look forward to seeing you at the park!

The Sheridan Redevelopment Commission (RDC) is proud to partner with Sheridan Main Street Inc. to support local business owners through a matching grant program aimed at revitalizing our historic downtown. This initiative provides funding for essential improvements such as façade restoration, roof repairs, and tuckpointing, helping preserve the character and integrity of Sheridan’s cherished buildings for generations to come.

Sheridan Main Street Inc. has taken the lead in coordinating the grant process, distributing applications to building owners and working closely with them through a dedicated committee. This team ensures that each project aligns with the goals of the RDC and reports progress back to the commission.

We’d like to recognize Cindy Keever, President of Sheridan Main Street Inc., for her tireless efforts in driving this initiative forward, along with the board members who have contributed their time and energy to make it a success.

G & R Excavating is the latest recipient of the façade grant. Owner Austin Williams unveiled the newly improved exterior on Friday, October 3rd. Austin brings fresh energy and creative ideas to Sheridan Main Street, and we’re excited to see what he has planned for the interior of his building, which is still under construction. Once completed, he will host an open house to welcome the community and showcase the transformation.

Together, we’re investing in the future of Sheridan, one brick at a time.

Jamie’s Room Interview on Fox 59 News

On Monday, October 13th, the Town of Sheridan proudly dedicated Jamie’s Room—a soft interview space created in honor of a courageous victim of abuse. Recognizing the need for a safe and compassionate environment to interview victims of crime, our community came together to make this vision a reality.

Named after Jamie, whose story inspired this collective effort, the room serves as a sanctuary for those navigating incredibly difficult moments. It’s designed to offer comfort, dignity, and a sense of security during interviews with law enforcement and support professionals.

We are deeply proud to provide this space and remain committed to supporting victims with empathy and respect.
